Some West Ham United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation linking the club with Celtic central defender Kristoffer Ajer.

According to The Express, West Ham are among the clubs interested in signing Ajer from Scottish Premiership giants Celtic in the summer transfer window.

Southampton and West Bromwich Albion also want the Norway international central defender, who is valued at £20 million, according to the report.

Ajer, who can also operate as a defensive midfielder, has been on the books of Celtic since 2016 and has established himself as an important player in the team.

The 22-year-old is one of the best centre-backs in the Scottish Premiership, and has won the league title and the Scottish League Cup thrice each and the Scottish Cup on two occasions with the Hoops.

The youngster also played in the Champions League and in the Europa League with the Glasgow giants.

Some West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation that the London club are looking at Ajer.
